Welcome to District 217
District 117 and District 37 are reuniting into the new District 217
165+ Clubs Statewide
Open to All Skill Levels
Self-paced Learning
Building our future together.
Serving North Carolina and part of South Carolina
Clubs from Districts 37, 58, and 117 are uniting to form District 217. This new district is the reunification of District 117 and District 37 in North Carolina, joined by six clubs from District 58 in the Fort Mill and Myrtle Beach areas of South Carolina. Our inaugural Toastmasters year begins July 1, 2026.
This year's theme, "Building Our Future Together," reflects our belief that success is built through collaboration, service, and a shared commitment to growth. This site will be your central hub for district news, events, and leadership opportunities — and will continue to grow in the months ahead — so check back often.
Thank you for being part of this historic first year!
